Helge Lund, the former CEO of energy companies Statoil (STO) and BG, has become a director of oil services firm Schlumberger (SLB), the company said on Thursday.
Schlumberger denied a Wall Street Journal report that Lund had been appointed the chief executive of the company.
"Paal Kibsgaard remains the chief executive," a spokeswoman for the company told Reuters, adding that Lund had been appointed as a director.
